What just a few students say about David
“You prepared us so well we have our own company.”

“As a recent graduate of your FREC I real estate salesperson course, I wanted to thank you for your superb instruction of the class. The enthusiasm with which you taught the class was a breath of fresh air and truly motivated me to do my very best! Thank you for a job well done!”

“It is not enough to say that I found the course informative, challenging, and more than sufficient to serve its purpose. What I want to tell you is that in all of my years of course-taking, I have never had an instructor anywhere that could touch Mr. Collins. Not only does Mr. Collins have the amazing grasp of the subject matter, he is also blessed with the rare and gifted talent of ‘presentation.” . . . “While many instructors have a world of subject knowledge, few have the ability to impart that knowledge to other.”
“His unique delivery is so alive and focused that the students are drawn into a state of rapt attention for hours on end. They appear to hang on to each and every word. It’s as if they see something that they know they have never seen before and may never see again. It’s as if they want to burn this man’s image into their brain forever.”
“Why? Perhaps it’s because they are drawn into an old world of forgotten dreams-into a new word of inspiration with the thought that perhaps they really could be that person they always wanted so much to be.”
– Julie Melson
